The Orioles are not a good team this year. But that didn't diminish the theatrics of Randal Grichuk's go-ahead grand slam, giving the BlueJays a dramatic win as their search for bullpen pitching continues. (ShiDavidi)

After Bichette struck out for the second out, Biggio sent a line drive into right field to bring home Tellez and Castro then fell behind 3-1 to Grichuk before serving up a 95.8 m.p.h. sinker on the inner edge of the plate that the right-fielder pounded over the left-field wall.Vladimir Guerrero Jr., then reach on an error by shortstop Richie Martin, and was shaken up ambling into second base, leaving the game with a left rib injury.

That’s, like, a lot of pitchers. Running through that many arms is a sure sign that things haven’t gone to plan, you’re rebuilding, or both. The Blue Jays are firmly mired in the "both" camp, and as a result, they’ve scavenged the sands like a desperate band of Jawas on Tatooine. Taking a free look at the 30-year-old makes all kinds of sense, since as recently as 2016 he was a dominant, 2.3 WAR reliever for the Athletics. That year he logged 74.1 innings in 70 games, with a 2.42 ERA, a 0.874 WHIP and a 4.87 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He was legit good.

So there’s some roster pressure already there before the Blue Jays start considering players who must be added to the 40 to avoid eligibility in December’s Rule 5 draft. Anthony Kay and T.J. Zeuch were already rostered, but infielder Santiago Espinal , right-hander Thomas Hatch and outfielder Forrest Wall are among those who will get serious consideration, too.
